A RuMORED SHORTAGE.

The Accounts of the Treasurer OF the In
trrnational typographical Union Mixed.
BUFFALO, June 1S-It was rumored here
Saturday afternoon that heavy shortage
has been discovered in the accounts OF Secre-
tary Treasurer Pascoe, Of the International
typographical union. Pascoe had been re-
elected, but he resigned Friday, and the ex-
cuse given was the reduction made IN the
mlary of his Office. The truth is that
there are serious discrepancies in his books.
What the amount of his alleged embezzle-
ment is can not be learned. Only the dele
gates knew this, and they are sworn to Sc
crecy The Childs-Drexel fund Is said to be
all right but is not at all certain whether or
not such is the case. Mr.. Pascoe handled
$4,000 during this year, and received $1,000
additional since his arrival in Buffalo. He
says he will be able to show that he has not
squandered or appropriated dollar of the
money intrusted to him.

"GolNe FOR THE cows"

Long before the crimson sunset
Flashes ON the farmhouse panes;
Long before the misty purple
Down the distant valley wanes;
Wistful eyes are looking fieldwardS
While the patient grandma sews;
And the old clock on the mantel,
Tic, tic, tic, so drowsy goes.
"Dear me, Jenny" cries the grandma
With her specs above her brows;
"Do be quiet, it's so early,
Lots of time 10 fetch the eowsm
Shadows lengthen down the mountain,
And the swallows wing their round;
Scarlet sunlight flashes brightly
Ger the daisy laden ground.
Anxious eyes are Mt the window
Looking down the meadow lane;
Tiny fingers softly tapping
On the kitchen window pane.
"Bless me, Jenny" calls the grandma,
"TheSe's no peace in all the house
Do 60, il you can't be quiet
Go ut once and fetch the cowsw
Light the step that bent the clover,
Tripping DER the meadow wide!
Two were meeting there together,
Talking softly, side by side!
Up the lane come Jet and SNOWFALL,
Brindle, Bess, with step so slow,
While the sunset softly fingers
On maiden's cheek aglow.
Girls are girls" old grandma whispers,
AS she sees them through the boughs:
'Once went, well remember,
Very early for the COWS"

wait till turtle came along and took
hold; then some other natives would lug
both him and the turtle up to the village

Agnes Huntington, Marie Stone, Tom Karl
and Mcdonald, Boston Ideal stars, came here
to assume the principal roles in bringing out
Signor Jaunattas opera, "Alidor," which is
to be produced here shortly. The principal
character in the opera is Lorette, which is as
sumed by Miss Huntington. Signor Jaunatta
has pupil by the name Of Miss Murphy, o
great favorite in St Paul society, whom he
had promised to allow to sing In the char
acter of Lorette one night Miss Murphy,
who is contralto of considerable local fame,
had her costumes prepared at cost OF sew
oral hundred dollars and made other arrange
ments for her debut ON the operate stage
When this came to the ears Of Miss Hunt
ington she said she would not allow the pub
lie to be disappointed by permitting an anna
teur to take her place one night, and when
Signor Juanatta demonstrated with her she
said he ought to be thrashed and his opera
burned. Tom Karl asserts that If Miss Muir
ply is allowed to sing he viii not appear on
the stage. The position taken by Miss Hunt
ington has created great deal OF indigna-
ton i'll upper social circles, and it is init
mated that if Miss Murphy is not allowed to
sing, Miss Huntington will be boycotted il
she ever comes to this city to sing again

ASSISTED IMMIGRATION.
Correspondence Between Secretary Bayarl
and Minister West.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 1d--Secretary
Bayard Friday made public the correspond
ence between himself and Mr. West, the
British minister, in regard to assisted immi-
grants The minister asked for a statement
of the position of this government in regard
to immigrants whose passage was paid in
whole or in part by the British government.
He said he referred to the crofters and others
who had friends in this country who had
promised to take care of them. In reply Sec
rotary Bayard said he could not undertake
to pronounce upon immigrants as class;
that it must be purely matter of individual
application; that in every case In which the
immigrant promised to become burden on
the community that immigrant would not be
permitted to land, whereas, if the reverse
were true, he would be welcomed that ex
perience has shown that the putative friends
of many who came to this country never APP
peared to look after them, and that even in
cases in which they do, the immigrants who
rely upon friends in this country for "heip
and support" as the only means of saving
them from becoming a public charge after
having been assisted to this country, are not
desirable accession to our population, and
he adds: Their expectation hither by . for
eign government, in order to get-<rrid of the
burden of their support, conllSs scarcely be re-
garded as friendly sct or In harmony with
existing laws"

A GREAT CONFEDERATION
COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF HAVE
MEYERS SUGAR REFINERY. J,

A Bare Possibility That the Fire Was Of
Incendiary Origin-wiId Rumors of Loss
of Lifc-Pecunisry Loss Estimated at
$1,000, O0O-The Works To BE Rebuilt
Immediately.
BROOKLYN, N Y, June 13-Fire broke
out at $50 o'clock Saturday morning In
Havemeyer's Green Point Sugar refinery.
The flames spread quickly, and by the time
the firemen arrived the entire building was
in flames Four alarms were sent out. Not
withStanding the fact that sixteen engines,
four trucks, and two fire-boats were present,
the flames could not be conquered until the
entire building was completely destroyed.
The scene presented magnificent spectacle.
The surrounding sky was lighted up by the
illumination 1t is supposed the fire broke
out in the stencil-room. Although work is
carried ON all night in other parts of the build
ing nothing is done i'll that room after 5
o'clock in the evening. The una ority Of those
employed in it are boys 1t will be remem-
bered that strike occurred in this refinery
year ago. Some of those prominently iden-
titled in it were not re-employed. Threats
have been uttered from time to time, and it is
thought they may have been connected with
the fire.
The widest rumors Of loss of life prevailed
around the burned building. 1t was at first
reported eleven workman were missing. This
number has gradually narrowed down to
three. The hands are nearly all Hungarians
and Poles, who were recognized by numbers
instead of names This makes it extremely
difficult, therefore. to ascertain definitely as
yet whether any lives were lost or not. Those
who first saw the fire say that although the
flames spread with great rapidity there was
sufficient time for escape. Officers Gallagher
and Cronin, as soon as they found a house adj
joining atire rushed up the stairs and rescued
two children and woman who had not been
awakened by the noise of the coniagration.
The only estimate OF the loss that can be
made at present must be more or less con-
jectural 1t is believed, however that it will
approximate s., 0OO,0O The building was
we'll stocked with sugar and raw material in
progress of refining The building was fully
insured About 800 men We're employed in
the refinery As soon as the debris is cleared

At noon Saturday the superintendent OF the
